Needless to say, you could use these feats in almost any setting.Yeah, there are stats on vehicles, but not much detail: speed, range, capacity, and not much else. Armour stats are reduced to a single number: "10 inches" for the M60, for instance. Assuming you even have numbers; the armour for the M1A1 is "classified". <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />The book cautions against turning your campaign into a tactical wargame, and I agree with this: the game should be about small-unit skirmishes and man-to-man actions, not full-on mechanised combat. Besides which, do you really want your entire party wiped out by a single AT mine or tank shell?The more I look at it, the more I think the book is pretty good, but too narrow. For instance, they could turn it into a full-fledged sourcebook on military ops and special forces. Maybe when d20 Modern finally appears, Holistic could do something like that. They seem to have the talent on hand....</blockquote>
